From yahtzee63, and sort of like that title meme going around, if you make up titles for stories I didn't write, I will respond with details of those non-written stories. Just think of the possibilities! (If you'd like to include details you'd like, pairings or fandom or something, do that too.)

I kind of fear this will lead to actually writing these stories, because to me the title is always the hardest part, but actually, I kind of hope it does. I am in need of entertainment before I fall asleep.

However, tonight I have The Cave to watch, and lots of things to do. Unimportant things, but things.

I need to buy Twister, because I may have just started a The Lost Boys/Twister crossover for my (much belated) crossovers100 challenge. Fun, fun, fun, fun. I'll need a beta for this eventually, and it should be pretty short.

I'm watching the end of "Innocence" now and it reminded me (again) just how much I love Oz. His conversation with Willow about kissing and he wants her to be kissing him and not trying to make Xander jealous--I swoon.

I need to head to bed soon; though normally I'm off on Saturdays, I'm going in for a couple of hours tomorrow to cover the office while L., the actual guy working in the office tomorrow, can help install a windshield. Not just any windshield, but a nice eighteen wheeler windshield. Not a split one, either, which I could have helped set, but a full one, too big for any one person.

So a couple hours at work, and then I'm off to the post office, and then I'm home because thestalkycop and I have plans to talk and plot and write. We were up way too late last night doing just that. I planned on writing tonight, and emailing it to her so it would be there when she woke up, but then I remembered I had to finish and clean up my feedback for melannen, so no writing for me.

While I wind down, I'm going to post excerpts from my stories, something I've seen all over.

( Cut because I never post just one line. )

I have a hard time titling stories until I have them almost done.

I thought about going to the movies after work today (we have Glory Road and Underworld: Evolution right now, and a couple others I'd like to see) but I couldn't be bothered. Mostly because the ones I really want to see (Transamerica and Brokeback Mountain) we will never get any closer than St. Louis (and I'm not driving to St. Louis again for awhile, not after the last time) and I couldn't fathom going out in public after the week I've had. I am over-stimulated, over-socialized, and I needed time alone, which I got.

I watched High School Musical on Disney, which was actually mostly cute, and was thrilled to learn Amanda Mischalka (I think I just butchered her name) is in an upcoming made-for-tv Disney movie, because it means there will be more pictures of her floating around, and as she's the closest approximation of "Queertet Revisited" aged Anna, this is a good thing.

Bed now.

I so have a story idea now. A Lost/Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover. I'm sure plenty of people also had the same thought, but still I will write mine and be happy.

No spoilers here (no time! Why is there never enough time?) but I wanted to say this:

( Okay, I lied, small spoilers, so I cut )

Happy thoughts for Wednesday:

+ Lost, oh so good
+ story idea
+ finding out people are still reading "Queertet Revisited"
+ realizing I was wrong and crimson_keys isn't writing The Lost Boys/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for my Christmas story (no, that's a separate project entirely) she is writing The Lost Boys/Blade in which Anna and Blade will fight. I will be dead from the hot.
+ burning a candle while I write another 2500+ words
+ getting an idea for the crossover I'm writing with shisaiyan (well, one of them) which I need to write down before I forget and then flesh it out so I can stop being a slacker

I like these happy thoughts.

Why do I have no Lost icons on here? I am so used to 100 icons on my non-fandom journal I forget I have such little space here.

It is not Friday. It feels like Friday. It feels more like Friday because we're grilling at the office, something we do on Fridays, because we'll be missing people tomorrow. Damn you, not!Friday Thursday! I hate you!

I have so much real life stuff to do, my fandom stuff is falling to the side. Which I hate.

However, a brief To Do list for fandom stuff:

+ start crossovers100 stories
+ start fandom100 stories
+ type up handwritten section of Oz/Bill/Gambit and finish
+ type up handwritten section of project with shisaiyan
+ update website
+ do final edit of New Years Resolution story and post so I can participate in yuletide
+ yell at non-communicative Butterfly Ficathon participants
+ decide which holiday fic exchanges I want to do
+ finish pinch-hit story for xmmficathon
+ make icons

Maybe I will do some of it tonight. I need to clean tonight after work and the gym, but I would rather write fandomy-type things. Especially because I have almost been convinced to try my had at Kaylee/Jayne both during Firefly and post-Serenity. I blame my sister for being so articulate about it the other night.

So when I said I wanted to spend a nice, relaxing Saturday at home, I did not mean I wanted to spend all morning running errands. The post office was packed, I couldn't find what I needed in the storage shed, and I missed the breakfast menu at my favorite restaurant. I also did not get to go by the bank to get signed on to J.'s account so he can pay me money for the bills we're splitting, even though he's not here anymore.

However, I did find a new used bookstore, and the owner has the cutest little puppy named Molly, and she followed me around while I explored, and I cooed at her and petted her a lot, and bought a first edition Preston/Child book, and a ton of other neat books, and I really love books and puppies, so the rest of the errands were worth it to find the bookstore. Even though the new costume shop in town sucks, and I should have known, because I already disliked the owner after dealing with her at work. But that is not an important story and bookstore joy is.

I need to take in some books next week to trade, because I have three boxes of books to get rid of so far. One is just juvenile books, and will be donated when I go do some volunteer work next month, but the rest I think I will try to trade, because I always need new books. Always. I love books.

This afternoon I have been talking to thestalkycop, writing Mighty Ducks fanfic, and doing laundry. I am so cool! (Right.) I do really like the title of the story I'm working on; I've always wanted to do one of those "number of things" stories, and now I am. It is, of course, for the much belated Butterfly Ficathon, and I'm almost done, and next time Sarah and I are not scheduling a holiday in the middle of the ficathon we're running (we suck), so I can't talk about it much, but. I also gave it a remix title and I love coming up with remix titles.

It is "Four Things [data embargo] Didn't Do At [data embargo] (the will [it], won't [it] remix)" and I love my title. Love it. If only the story was as good. Though I like Thing Four quite a lot.

I should get back to writing. Once this is done, and sent to the beta, I need to write a pinch hit fic for the XMM ficathon, and then I need to type up the Oz/Bill/Gambit story I wrote part of at work, and then I need to work on my crossovers100 and fanfic100 stories. Whee!

Also "Queertet Revisited" and the stories I'm writing with shisaiyan.

Received a mix CD from crimson_keys, a Halloween mix, and it is SO COOL I LOVE IT!

saturniia just broke me.

She suggested Bill/Gambit/Oz for further red-hair sex.

Um.

Uh.

Erm.

Yes. Please?

I am seeing a guitar and dragonhide leather and a game of poker and smoke everywhere. Jackets scattered haphazard, shirts, trousers, boots. Lots of boots, black leather boots, brown leather, thick fingers, full lips, that slow grin (three different, but oh so slow and sexy).

Okay. This has to be written. A lot.

I need an icon. Or, you know, 100. Woah.

Yeah, so, for crossovers100 I'm doing The Lost Boys/various crossovers. Any characters you'd particularly like to see interact? I'm thinking there will be a Dwayne meets Oz the werewolf, Faith meets David, grown up Laddie joins a band with Oz (yeah, I like Oz, shut up), maybe Electro!Gwen and Star, Riddick and one of them in the far distant future, and who knows what else. Suggestions are more than welcome.

I'm also tossing around Ultimate Piotr/Logan for fanfic100, or maybe just Ultimate Piotr, because I'd also like some Colossus/Northstar.... Thoughts?

So, thestalkycop, I think you should come play, too. :-D

Also, when you have a second, I need to know what I need to write for the next "Queertet Revisited" chapter.

Must update my icons.

Comica obscura fic sent to first beta. kphoebe, I owe you so much. When I am rich and famous, I will have to pay you to write stories and tell tales. Or perhaps just when I am rich, because the famous part, I'm not so sure about.

I'm later with it than I intended, but my wrists hurt so much from work. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep the job. I don't mind pain (carpal tunnel leads to much pain most of the time), but when I can't type, I get upset.

I've decided that the best way to avoid dealing with the sadness that your story isn't being recced is to be frantically trying to finish the story for another ficathon. I may just keep signing up for them to distract myself.

Seriously though, until last year, I'd never been a part of a ficathon and I swore I never would. Now I'm eager for the next. It really is a way to branch out through fandoms and I'm enjoying myself immensely.

My next fandom writing project is the next in the series of The Fast and the Furious ficlets shisaiyan and I are writing together. I had a great idea, but had to finish the Remix and then comica obscura and job hunt and all that.

Pimping:

I just signed up for
the Buffyverse Down and Dirty Femmeslash PWP ficathon. It looks like it could be a grand old time. Not to mention I've been wanting to write dirty femmeslash.

Who knew that Leonard Nimoy was actually a decent photographer? This links to the Full Body Project, photographs of gorgeous naked fat women. I'm amazed and pleased.

Remix recommendations coming soon, too.
